i have switched to svn for my daily work now (don't miss good old 1.4.3 for one second!!) 

however, i *strongly* suggest that we revert this patch:

http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/17639


and get rid of the antialiasing in formulas for the following two  
reasons:


1. the result is actually not nice, but rather fuzzy


2. the mixing of antialiased text with non-antialiased text is  
really ugly

What are you talking about? This commit was about antialiasing of  
lines polylines and arcs that are used in symbols like brackets or  
sqrt. Nothing to do with text.


s\text\elements\g


my point is; it is ugly (the result is not very nice) and also  
inconsistent:



when i enter ordinary parentheses they are not antialiased, when i  
enter the scaleable ones, they are.


integrals are not antialiased, square roots are.


horizontal arrows: the stem is unantialiased, the arrow point is  
antialiased.


etc

i am sorry, but it looks like a mess...



If you talk about ugliness maybe you should give some proof, pictures  
could do that. You are not the only one using LyX and math formulas  
all day. And many people prefer the antialiased look over the old one  
a lot.



If you don't like antialiased fonts, that's telling a lot already. I  
guess 99% of people on the world prefer proper antialiased fonts. If  
you you turn them off, ok, your choice.



But please stop bitching around here like a little child "This patch  
must be reverted, better yesterday than today, because __I__ don't  
like it". So come back to earth and improve the situation if you  
don't like it. You are free to send a patch for the preferences  
dialog or whatever logic.



@newer posting of you: We now know _you_ don't like. Stop flaming the  
list. Thanks!

P.S.: Some picture how it looks like. I don't know which kind of  
display you use, but it does not look blurry here at. The old  
rendering looked highly unprofessional for me. But of course that's  
my taste, other people might have a different one.
